About this update from Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation

As a launch partner for Rubrik Agent Cloud, Cognizant intends to be one of the first global systems integrators to operationalize the offering, embedding it as a governance layer within Cognizant Neuro® AI and AI FactoryThe aim is to give enterprises visibility into agent actions, real-time policy enforcement, and the ability to reverse unintended agent activity in defined scenariosTEANECK, N.J., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) announced an expanded strategic alliance with Rubrik to help enterprises run autonomous AI safely at scale. As a launch partner for Rubrik's Project Hourglass, an alliance with leading Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) to deliver agentic resilience for enterprise AI coding agents, Cognizant intends to be one of the first global systems integrators to operationalize the offering as a governance layer within its delivery platforms.Enterprises are moving agentic AI from pilots into production, where AI agents increasingly write code, move data and act on systems with varying degrees of human oversight.
